Advanced Search Authority Codes by Mark Dulisse

Google’s Advanced Search enables you to enter variables which will give to you many great places to drop a link. Make sure that if you are getting backlinks from blogs, forums, or anywhere, not to spam these sites.

Here are some examples of what you can type into Google search to find them:

GETTING LINKS FROM .EDU AND .GOV SITES

MYTH – .gov and .edu backlinks are not 5x more powerful than a .com backlink. A Link Is A Link. It just so happens that many .gov and .edu are high pagerank.

“powered by wordpress” “your keyword” (this is looking for an exact keyword match with the quotations around keyword)

“powered by wordpress” intitle:your keyword This targets pages that have your keyword in the url of the page.

“powered by wordpress” inurl:your keyword

FINDING TYPEPAD BLOGS TO COMMENT

“If you have a TypeKey or TypePad account” your keyword

FINDING BLOGSPOT BLOGS TO COMMENT

site:blogspot.com your keyword

If many of the blogs have the comments section closed, you can exclude those from your searches using the following search commands:

“powered by wordpress” your keyword -comments are closed

FINDING DIRECTORIES (in your niche) AND SUBMISSION SITES

intitle:add+url “your keyword”

intitle:submit+site “your keyword”

intitle:submit+url “your keyword”

intitle:add+your+site “your keyword”

intitle:add+site “your keyword”

intitle:directory “your keyword”

intitle:sites “your keyword”

intitle:list “your keyword”

FINDING FORUMS (in your niche) FOR BACKLINKS

“Powered by SMF” your keyword

Phbb your keyword

“powered by IPB” your keyword

MyBB your keyword

“powered by PunBB” your keyword

“Powered by Phbb” your keyword

“Powered by vBulletin” your keyword

GET A TON OF QUALITY BACKLINKS FROM SQUIDOO

site:squidoo.com “new links plexo” “add to this list”

site:squidoo.com “your keyword” “add to this list”

Many don’t know this, but Squidoo has some really high PR lens’ and they allow you to add your own incoming links with anchor text and description. Pretty much all are do-follow and require no moderation. Make sure you are logged in to your squidoo account so you don’t spam, because you will get banned if you do spam. Click on “Add to this list” Module and enter your url, anchor text and description.

Inside my Dominating Google course, not only do I show you “how to search for quality backlinks,” but I also reveal to you sites where you can get quality backlinks. How nice is that

Nice list Mark, Still figuring out the larger focus building a travel site and trying to get beyond PR3. I still want to add a “link” page for back links but not sure if this is a good idea. Any thoughts, and is it a good idea to start a “links” page?

There’s something needing emphasis here when it comes to getting back links. It’s not so much getting a back link as it is getting credibility for yourself and your links. Having a relevant comment approved and included on an authority site like an .edu or .gov holds a lot of weight, yes, but it also includes you into a conversation with other who carry their own authority.

What the search engines are looking for is activity, both on your own sites and how you interact in discussions on other sites. They’re looking for real connections they can make to bring more information to a search query.

So the real benefit to getting a comment on an .edu or .gov site is because the material and the conversation resulting are of a higher caliber than a normal blog, and thus more valuable to the search engines.

Page Rank really then has little to do with the value of your comment on sites like these. PR is more of an end result of good moderation and intelligent material.

Nice list of google search terms for backlinking.
On a lighter note what do you think will happen if someone actually figures out to do search based on site relevance rather than link quality/quantity.

The countless man hours and cash spent backlinking really is a useless practice and is only worthwhile because large G having proclaimed itself god of search if not all of www land has said it must be so, the reason being that like the wizard of OZ their success lies in their ability to speak reality into existence.

I think it is about time the plebe web masters took matters into their own hands and said NO to the G man.

Thanks Mark , I did search on some of these and you do have to look at bit in the results to find some that accept links. It seems some of the .edu and .gov sites have disabled websites in profiles, or disabling the linking.

Good tips here Mark. Gotta be good, starting off with a great name,
Links can be tricky, like you said. Finding the right places and adding quality comments are what makes them all worthwhile. That is one of the reasons I use the Intense Debate Plugin to manage my comments (along with Akismet of course!)

Recently commented on Ryan Deiss’s blog, now I see your answer to his report.

Sure it’s not a copycat since these are pretty well known footprints used widely among more smart SEO guyes )

Thanks a lot for mentioning Squidoo backlinks, I didn’t use these. Btw Mark, I’ve seen a comment on Ryan’s blog telling that web 2.0, blog commenting etc backlinks are so called low authority ones. In fact, as I love to scrape links from my competition, I sometimes see top 1 rankings for very competitive terms just with blog commenting and profile linking strategies.

I think a lot depends on the competition for targeted keyword, and many courses aren;t tanking this into consideration, they just offer specific strategy and forget to mention that this strategy may not work for hig levels of competition…Grand recently posted…Position 14 To Position 1 In 1 Day – Quick How-To

This is a great strategy to get quality back links. I knew about some of the search queries that you have mentioned above but not the squidoo ones. I am definitely going to check those out. Your Google course looks pretty good. I will have to check that out as well.

Absolutely awesome Mark. Here I was thinking there were no quality blogs in my niche industry on which to comment, and now I’ve found hundreds. Thanks for the awesome video sitemap plugin and the freebies you keep throwing our way.

Mark, Awesome stuff and will certainly try these and the squidoo links especially. My question is: how important is it to have the keyword in the name which gets the link. As you can tell, I am including internet marketing in mine to boost that in this case, but often bloggers are watching for spam and will not approve a comment with a blatant attempt to get a backlink. Comments on this? Like the hybrid approach?: Mark the SEO Guy kind of thing? Thanks for everything! Loving your course too. – Wayne

Thanks Mark,
You certainly give us enough food for thought, ie projects to keep us busy on our

I am still trying to figure out LOCAL SEO on Market Samurai… Not enough numbers
to come up with significant keywords for my field.. I haven’t finished your course so , hopefully, LOCAL will show up soon

That macro was from well over 6 months ago, and I think about a year ago. Hence, it is not workable now. It was basically a macro that did your logins and submits to bookmarking sites, etc. But, social media sites change all the time, and macros have to be updated constantly. That is why automation software with autosubmits (really just a macro) have a monthly fee…because they require a lot of updating and supports.

Always like the free training you provide. It’s a strange coincidence to Ryan’s free report, but I’m sure this is common knowledge to every seo guru for a long time. While there are fair amount of similarities for .edu, .gov, .com, i think you’ve touched on several others e.g forums and Squidoo. so i’d say i’ve benefited from both.

In addition, some blogs doesn’t allow for URL/Website, so perhaps we could include “url” or “website” into the search command.Andy, SEO Company, SEO Services recently posted…If you register your site for free at

What an awesome list that allows us to leverage the tactics of these big SEO guys.

Thanks, I’ve found it really helpful because it works over here in Germany as well, and I really appreciate it.

But I found something else really interesting in this posting, particularly in the comment section that – I think – is really Germanic:

“Mark Dulisse … greatest copycat on earth” by “ew 12”.

Sure, the words are in English but the attitude behind these words is kind of Germanic. Sorry, to be so blunt, but most Germans are dominated by this attitude.

Since I can think of I was fascinated by this attitude and finally I wrote an article in a newspaper with the title: “Smart Aleck, Crank, Constant Nagger”. And in this article I tried to exlpain one of the reasons why people become so negative run others down, and criticize their work:

People who envy each and every during their youth or early adulthood become fanatic nagger when they are getting older, because deep in their subconsciousness they know, evny is a bad characteristic. So over the years they cloak it and transform it unknowingly to criticism, because criticism is socially acceptable.

“ew 12” if you think you would be more happy in a country of constant naggers, let’s exchange our residences and we both would have the feeling to live in paradise.

Hello Mark, just to let you know that I am very grateful for the advice and tip´s that you have been giving me. It is only recently that I have sarted to take SEO more seriously, and have been doing a lot research on it, but I have to admit that I still have difficulty understanding a lot of what I am reading. Thank´s again.

Thanks for the valuable information. I could immediately found out many backlinks where I can comment. It’s just great. I read few links and tried before and also found worthwhile. But here the list is extensive and much more useful. Thanks once again.

Great information! I have been looking for an easier way of getting high quality links back to my websites. This looks like it will make my life much easier. I’m going to spend a few hours today working on creating links for all of my websites and see how it works out.

I have looking for this for a very long time! I know it can speed up my searching time and such, but I never had the chance to know what search query should I type in google. Glad I found your post. Thanks lot!!chien recently posted…Who wants a job

This is great. This gives a better insight and goes right along with Ryan’s report on the authority codes. I just hope all this doesn’t start a flood of spam posts too much. Content is king and everyone needs to remember that when they go through and start posting on blogs. The key to gaining more traffic is to contribute something amazing and getting attention to yourself.

Hello Mark!
First time commenter here.
Anyone else try using the authority codes in CherryPicker itself?
That kind of worked for me.
I also edited my own authority codes for really small niches by taking out the top level domain name at the start of query to do all 4 queries at once.

Comparing this with Ryan report doesn’t make much sense. This list is much more advance then Ryan’s. I use this methods to get backlinks for years and in most cases I got the result. Specially if I comment on high pr blogs/posts. But make sure your comment have some value else you will be moderated.

Thanks Mark for squidoo idea, I overlook this one. Much easier then creating own lenses.

Thanks for sharing such a lovely and meaningful information.I used this methods to get back links for years and in most cases I got the result.

Hey Mark,
This is good info, I was told that .gov and .edu were the sites to focus on, but I’ve been wondering about that seeing as everyone is always telling you that it is google page rank that matters more. I will defenitely stop focusing on .edu and .gov links so much

Ever wonder Mark if we focussed on creating good quality content that was relevant to what the searcher was looking for that we would not need to do all the work with the gov and edu sites. I appreciate this list above as a checklist.

Could it work if we did it by relevancy first them the extras. What say you?

I will owe you a brown pop at Peakes Quay the next time I’m on the Island.

Thanks so much for this Mark. I too was told that .edu and .gov were invaluable but I do have a few and haven’t seem my PR jump at all. I appreciate you posting the Google authority codes because I am much more interested in connecting with quality sites that have the same related information as my own, and starting up ongoing conversations.

I must say that i have learned a great deal from this post. Some say that it does not matter if the link is dofollow or not. Do all of the spiders obey that command?Naruto Shippuden vostfr recently posted…Naruto Shippuden 179 vostfr Streaming

Backlinks are so important to search engine optimization. The problem is that the internet is so vast that it is sometimes daunting to figure out how to search it to find relevant, high quality sites for your backlinks. Luckily, we have some ways to cut through the sea of information – search operators. We can use search operators to search a specfic site, look for words in urls, look for anchor text, etc. We can even use more advanced techniques by combining a couple of these operators to pinpoint even more pertinent sites for our much needed backlinks.

You’re not the average blog writer, man. You definitely have something powerful to add to the web. Your design is so strong that you could almost get away with being a bad writer, but you’re even awesome at expressing what you have to say. Such a great blog. Ill be back for more.

Hi there, just became aware of your blog through Google,
and found that it is really informative. I am gonna watch out for
brussels. I will be grateful if you continue this in future.
Many people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!

Wow, really nice method how to use Google to find relevant sites to place your backlinks. I did not use these methods before, so I am glad I have a great tutorial thanks to you ! It is called footprints, right? I heard about this word before but I did not know what does it really mean till know….

Well, I have been trying this trick for a couple of months. It is giving me results but the latest Google algorithm update has made SEO specialists to think beyond old techniques of creating do follow backlinks.
